(Research):Article that appeared in an unknown New paper Woman, 103, asks: "Why all the fuss?" Anyone would think nobody had been that old before chided Mrs Caroline Williamson, who at 103 is a very spry lady. Mrs. Williamson willingly showed the photographer the birthday telegram her great-grandson sent from Beirut. But she still could not see that her great age warranted any special fuss. Her mother in fact was almost 105 when she died. Mrs Williamson lives in Cremona Road, Como, with her daughter, Mrs Norma Cawse. Newcomers to the house wonder if Mrs Williamson is unable to walk or has lost other faculties. "One of the television men wanted to know if she was in a wheelchair" laughed Mrs Cawse. In fact, Mrs Williamson walks about the house with just a helping had and assists her daughter with the dishes or vegetables. She looks very much younger than her years and was distressed, when the Leader called, that her hearing seemed to have failed just in the past week. The daughter of a British Army man, she was born in Bombay. Her father came to Australia to buy horses for the cavalry when Caroline was nine years old. He returned to buy the first hotel in Maryborough, Victoria. That was the start of a new life for Mrs. Williamson - one which led her to every State in Australia. Six Children Her husband died 20 years ago, so she went to her daughter in Western Australia. They returned to New South Wales in 1955. The eldest of her six children is Monty, 82, who is still a professional dancer and choreographer in the city. She has two sons in Gosford and one in Strathfield. Mrs. Williamson's birthday was on December 9. She received letters from strangers and was mentioned on several television programs. And she giggled like a schoolgirl about all the attention: "Why, I'll be 104 next year!" she said with an impish grin.
